Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters battle to destroy the country
As the saying goes, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. This year, a heavy snow fell from the north, and the sky and the earth were covered with silver and white. The officials who had been in office for more than half a month looked at the heavy snow and smiled.
All these officials were selected by Li Gang, Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze and others among the many officials in the Song Dynasty. Not to mention that they were all capable ministers, but at least they were not those kind of corrupt officials and incompetent people.
Besides, if it weren’t for having enough confidence, no one would dare to go to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to become an official.
Who doesn’t know that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are still under Chu Yi’s control. As long as you are not a fool, you will know how terrifying Chu Yi is.
Therefore, in this case, at least most of those who dare to come to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to become officials have some ability and confidence.
The phenomenon of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty was extremely serious. If there were no capable ministers and officials in the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that few people would agree with it. However, those capable ministers and officials who were truly able to do things were buried one by one and were depressed and unsuccessful.
The officials in the court did not want to run to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to be restrained, and even accidentally could not control what they did, it was very likely that they would even have to pay their lives.
So when Li Gang and Zong Ze selected officials, they were not disturbed by the ministers in the court. Instead, they urgently hoped that Li Gang and others could screen out the candidates for officials sent to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Hundreds of officials of all sizes went north, representing that the Song Dynasty began to take over the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from top to bottom. Although it was not good to go to local officials, Chu Yi was shocked, the local families and officials were more honest than the other.
They were not afraid of these officials sent by the Song Dynasty, but they were afraid of Chu Yi.
These people watched how Chu Yi destroyed the Wanyan Zong Wang tribe with more than 100,000 troops. Even the most elite troops in the Great Jin Dynasty were destroyed in Chu Yi's hands. If they really dared to make a noise, they would die very miserably.
Chu Yi was wearing a cloak and looked at the heavy snow of goose feathers floating between the sky and the earth from afar. His eyes fell on Yang Zhi beside him and said, "Master Lu, Zhu Wu, is the court ready for the food and fodder needed for the Northern Expedition next year?"
After looking at each other, Zhu Wu bowed and said, "Go back to the prince, the court has begun to raise the food and fodder needed by the army. If nothing unexpected happens, there is no need to worry about it affecting the Northern Expedition."
Chu Yi nodded slightly.
Although the Northern Expedition was successful, it mainly depends on whether the powerful celestial powers under his command could suppress the great power of the Jin Dynasty. As for those soldiers, their role was more to occupy cities, govern and constrain local order.
If one can really let the powerful celestial beings take over the towns, it is probably that all the powerful celestial beings in today's world will be able to be allocated to all towns even if they are ten times more, a hundred times may not be able to be allocated to all towns.
The Northern Expedition Army had to dispatch at least tens of thousands of troops. This was just a matter of deducting the auxiliary troops who were circulating food and fodder, involving more than 100,000 horses and military supplies. This is not a trivial matter. If there was a problem with food and fodder and military supplies during the Northern Expedition, what consequences would be caused by a little brain.
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "If the prince is worried, why would he send someone back to the capital and supervise this matter personally. I think he would definitely be more attentive when he comes to the court."
Chu Yi just smiled. Zhao Gou might have some minor thoughts or even small actions, but Chu Yi didn't mind. As long as Zhao Gou no longer makes any trouble in the broad direction, Chu Yi pretended not to see Zhao Gou's actions.
Obviously, for Chu Yi, the Northern Expedition is the most important thing at the moment. To put it closer, it is directly related to how much luck Chu Yi can get.
On the one hand, Chu Yi's northern expedition was to conquer his hometown for the Han family, and on the other hand, to reap a lot of luck. The fastest way to harvest luck in this world is to destroy the country.
It can only be said that Dajin was too unlucky. Before Chu Yi decided who to take action first, Dajin sent his army south to the door.
Now is the time for Chu Yi to destroy the great gold and harvest the great gold in one fell swoop. It can be said that whoever dares to stop Chu Yi from destroying the great gold will definitely be his enemy.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Yi should indeed send one person back to Beijing as Master Lu said, but Chu Yi did not do that.
Zhao Gou may have various shortcomings, but one thing is very obvious, that is, Zhao Gou is very conscious of current affairs and knows more than anyone else what he can do and what he cannot do.
It is precisely because of Zhao Gou's nature that Chu Yi is not worried about what Zhao Gou will do during his Northern Expedition.
To take a step back, even if Zhao Gou was blinded and did something to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, Chu Yi was confident enough to break into the hearts of the Jin people and destroy the big gold. It was nothing more than a greater loss in this process.
Time flies like water.
It was like a blink of an eye, when winter passed and spring was warm and flowers were blooming, the Beiping City in Youzhou was full of vitality.
A field outside the city was growing vigorously, and in this ancient city, dozens of generals of all sizes were standing in the hall with a solemn expression in a mansion.
Chu Yi's eyes swept over the crowd and said slowly: "Everyone, as the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days, I will use troops for a while. I will decide to go to the north tomorrow to fight against the Jin people and swear not to return it. Are you willing to help me?"
The crowd bowed and said, "I wish to die for Your Highness, and I will never return it if I do not destroy the Jin people."
The momentum was shocking. Although there were only dozens of people, there were no less than ten people at the level of heaven and man alone. When these people shouted in unison, the people in half of the city could hear the shouting.
Many Han children heard the shouts and showed excitement on their faces. They looked towards the prefect's office and said with some excitement: "The prince is finally going to send troops."
Chu Yi's intention to fight the Northern Expedition was never hidden all day long, so almost everyone in the city knew that Chu Yi would fight the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty sooner or later.
But everyone didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. Just as many people were cheering for it, many spies planted by the Jin people in the city of Peking changed their faces and quickly tried every means to send Chu Yi out of his troops.
The army left Youzhou, with many soldiers and horses along the way, and it was vast. If the auxiliary soldiers summoned, it can be said that Chu Yi sent no less than 200,000 troops during this Northern Expedition.
This is not an exaggerated number, but a real number of more than 200,000.
It has to be said that the foundation of the Song Dynasty is quite amazing. The food, fodder and military equipment needed for 200,000 people were actually neatly purchased by the court, and even a little more.
Not only did Zhao Gou not want to hold Chu Yi back, but instead cooperated with all his strength, and even suppressed some court officials with ulterior motives to take the opportunity to cut off Chu Yi's food and grass and kill Chu Yi.
Zhao Gou knew very well that he had an incorrect position, especially now that Huizong Zhao Ji and former crown prince Zhao Huan were still alive, what he could rely on was Chu Yi.
Perhaps in the face of power, he and Chu Yi can be considered enemies, but no matter what, the two of them are also grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to Chu Yi, Zhao Gou can guarantee that his throne may not be able to sit firmly.
Moreover, Zhao Gou still had some ambitions in his heart. The biggest dream of the emperors of the Song Dynasty was to succeed in the Northern Expedition one day and take back the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. However, hundreds of years have passed, and the dream of the emperors of the Song Dynasty can only be a dream.
However, in his generation, Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures were subdued. Even though he, the emperor, looked more like a puppet, Zhao Gou dared to say that his name must be left behind in later historical records.
This time, Chu Yi was even more prepared to go north and plan to completely destroy the Jin Dynasty. Zhao Gou was so excited. If Chu Yi could really destroy the Jin Dynasty, it would mean that the Song Dynasty would completely eliminate hidden dangers from the north. Not to mention anything else, it would at least ensure the peace of the Song Dynasty's border for hundreds of years.
This is almost equivalent to a war that has lasted hundreds of years of national destiny for the Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou will only pull Chu Yi's hindrance unless his head is broken. Even those officials who were not in a bad mind and encouraged him to cut off Chu Yi's food and grass were directly taken down by Zhao Gou and escorted him to the army and handed over to Chu Yi for disposal.
In this way, Chu Yi didn't have to worry about the problems behind him at all, and the army was even more motivated and the marching speed was a little faster.
After marching like this for almost a month, hundreds of thousands of troops traveled thousands of miles, and there was no trace of resistance along the way. All the cities under the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty were all submerged.
On a carriage, Chu Yi was playing chess with Lu Junyi, and a figure appeared on the extremely spacious carriage and knelt beside him.
After leaving a son, Chu Yi looked at the other party and said, "Lu Shinang, where is our vanguard now?"
As the counselor of the army, Lu Shinang hurriedly said to Chu Yi: "Report to the prince, the vanguard army has been commanded by Fang Jie and Yang Zaixing, and has arrived a hundred miles away from Huining Prefecture, Shangjing, Dajin."
If Chu Yi had not entered the chaos, the Great Jin Kingdom had been in trouble for more than a hundred years, but the capital had migrated several times, from the original Shangjing Huining Prefecture to Zhongdu Peiping to Nanjing Kaifeng, symbolizing the path of the Great Jin Kingdom from its rise to destruction.
Now the Dajin has not moved from Huining Prefecture in Shangjing to Beiping in Youzhou. Since leaving the customs, the land has suddenly become much more desolate, and often there is no village for dozens of miles, which shows the desolation of the Dajin ancestral land.
Lu Junyi smiled slightly and said, "Apart from the spies sent by the Jin people, there were no troops coming to stop him. Even Fang Jie, Yang Zaixing and others appeared a hundred miles away from Huining Mansion. Now it seems that the Jin people really want to decide the world in one battle."
The light flashed in Lu Shinnang's eyes and nodded repeatedly, "What Deputy General Lu said is that the Jin people gathered all the troops and gathered in Shangjing. The idea was to fight with us in Shangjing to decide the outcome. The subordinates suggested that the army immediately set up camp and rest for a few days before sending troops."
Needless to say, what Lu Shinang was worried about was the army's expedition, but the Jin people were waiting for their hard work. If the Jin people suddenly launched an offensive while the army was exhausted, they might really destroy the army.
Even Lu Junyi looked at Chu Yi, "Counselor Lu's concerns are reasonable. As long as the Jin people are not fools, they will definitely seize such an opportunity to launch an offensive. Therefore, the last general begs His Highness to order the army to set up camp immediately."
Chu Yi didn't care much about the two's worries. With Yang Zaixing and Fang Jie and his vanguard dozens of miles away, even if the Jin army came, the army would have enough time to react.
Unless you are caught off guard by someone who is killed, if you practice more than 100,000 soldiers and horses that have been practicing for a winter, there is nothing wrong with these soldiers and horses collapsing.
However, Chu Yi did not refuse the suggestion of the two. It would be best if he could not take risks, so Chu Yi just thought about it and agreed to the suggestions of the two.
Just as the army set up camp, in the capital of Dajin, a group of senior Jin people led by Dajin Emperor Wu Qimai were now standing neatly in front of the army of more than 100,000.
When Wu Qimai pulled out his sword, he shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me to fight the Song army. I will never give up until the Song army is destroyed. I will be with the soldiers!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The sound of desolate trumpets sounded, and there were more than 100,000 troops, including a total of 100,000 cavalry alone, and among which there were 60,000 to 70,000 pure Jin soldiers.
Such a large army can almost run rampant with its strength alone.
Wu Qimai is worthy of being the Ma Shang Emperor who has been fighting with Wanyan Aguda since childhood. This time, he chose to lead the imperial army in person without hesitation.
Wu Qimai knew very well that even if he did not command the army personally, once the army was defeated, he, the Emperor of Great Jin, would not have any good ending. In this case, why not command the army personally can at least increase the morale of the army, right?
Of course, there is another reason that this army of more than 100,000 is already the last family of Dajin. No matter if it is handed over to anyone, Wu Qimai was actually uneasy in his heart.
If there is a great victory this time, if the commander is ambitious, he will be in a great victory, and even the Great Jin Emperor will not be able to regain military power.
"Set off!"
With a sudden shout, thousands of horses galloped, and a hundred thousand cavalry roared out. The scene was so shocking that even the gods and gods were shocked by it.
Fang Jie and Yang Zaixing had a total of 10,000 cavalry under their command, accounting for almost half of the Northern Expedition Army.
He took back the sixteen states of Yanyun and captured more than 100,000 Jin people. It is said that if Chu Yi was willing, there would be no problem in forming tens of thousands of cavalry.
But cavalry is different from infantry. Infantry soldiers are the easiest to train. As long as you dare to fight with swords and guns, cavalry is not. There is at least one premise, you have to be able to ride a horse.
The Song Dynasty lacked horses, so the Song Dynasty has the most important infantry in the past hundred years. There are very few soldiers in the army who can fight on horseback. Even Chu Yi cannot suddenly create tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers who are proficient in cavalry.
Among the vanguard army inspecting the four directions, which were slowing down, many soldiers were suddenly stunned, and then a little puzzled appeared on their faces.
Fang Jie and Yang Zaixing looked at each other, and saw Yang Zaixing soaring into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they appeared above the sky. Looking from afar, with Yang Zaixing's eyes, they could see that a few miles away, a black cavalry swept towards them like a black ocean.
When Yang Zaixing saw the black cavalry team of no less than tens of thousands, he couldn't help but be shocked, and his body turned into a stream of light and fell down.
Seeing that Yang Zaixing's expression was wrong, Fang Jie couldn't help but look at Yang Zaixing and said, "Yang Zaixing, what's going on?"
Taking a deep breath, Yang Zaixing suppressed the turbulence in his heart and said in a deep voice: "The big thing is not good. The team of tens of thousands of golden cavalry is sweeping towards us, with a huge momentum and extremely amazing."
Fang Jie was stunned at first when he heard this, then his figure soared into the sky. Looking around, even though he was mentally prepared, Fang Jie couldn't help but look extremely ugly.
"withdraw!"
Even when Fang Jie, who was so proud, saw the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Jin people swept over with a scattered force, he clearly realized that if the vanguard army wanted to be strong and powerful, the only ones who could survive in the end would be him and Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing let out a long roar, and the army immediately turned around. Although it was a little confused, at least there was no chaos.
Seeing the army leaving, Yang Zaixing looked at Fang Jie who was carrying Fang Tian’s painting halberd and smiled: “You and I will stop the Jin man today. Otherwise, if they are caught up by the Jin man, even if the chief general sends someone to help, I am afraid that the vanguard army will not be able to escape.”
The two knew very well that once the Jin people really caught up with the vanguard army, Chu Yi would always send a few powerful celestial men and might not be able to stop tens of thousands of Jin cavalry like a torrent. In the end, a considerable number of soldiers and horses would eventually break into the vanguard army. Besides, the Jin people would not be able to follow the army without the powerful celestial men.
The cavalry was extremely fast, just a cup of tea. In the sight of Yang Zaixing, Fang Jie and others, a black torrent appeared on the horizon, sweeping over the horizon with a rush of overwhelming seas.
